About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

ICE Announces Plans to Implement EU Market Correction Mechanism and Related Price Cap on TTF Natural Gas

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, today announced how it intends to implement the European Union’s Market Correction Mechanism Regulation (MCM Regulation) and related price cap on TTF natural gas derivatives, in time for entry into force of the regulation.

ICE Endex, based in the Netherlands and operator of the world’s most liquid trading venue for TTF natural gas futures and options, plans to change its Rulebook to promote compliance with the MCM Regulation, effective February 15, 2023, subject to completion of relevant regulatory processes.

Once the MCM Regulation enters into force, the Rules of ICE Endex will forbid market participants from submitting orders to the exchange order book in TTF derivatives above the price cap when the correction mechanism is activated, unless clients are eligible to make use of the exemptions granted in the Regulation. For details on the intended Rulebook changes and related guidance in respect of the MCM Regulation, please see https://www.theice.com/endex/circulars.

At the end of each trading day, ICE Endex determines and publishes settlement prices for all contracts listed on the exchange. The existing methodology and approach used to determine and publish these prices will remain unchanged to ensure that settlement prices continue to reflect fair market value of TTF futures and option contracts. This may mean that settlement prices of TTF futures and options may deviate from the price cap when it is not reflecting fair market value.

Meanwhile, ICE’s extensive engagement with customers confirms that they require continued access to a market which supports them in their need to manage risk, seamlessly hedge, and access and participate in the price discovery process, regardless of the level of the natural gas price. Therefore, ICE is preparing to launch a parallel market for TTF futures and options contracts on its London-based exchange ICE Futures Europe from February 20, 2023, subject to completion of relevant regulatory processes. This will provide market participants with optionality in the event the natural gas price rises, and the risk of the MCM price cap being triggered increases.

“ICE’s purpose is to create markets to allow our customers to manage their risk and we have a duty to our customers to provide solutions to the problems they face,” said Trabue Bland, SVP, Futures Exchanges at ICE. “We plan to implement the MCM on TTF contracts traded from ICE Endex in a manner that will preserve the market structure as best as possible. Simultaneously, we are preparing an alternative venue in London to act as an insurance option for customers if the MCM prevents them from trading and adequately managing their risk exposure.”

TTF futures contracts on ICE Futures Europe will mirror those on ICE Endex but will not be subject to the MCM Regulation and related TTF price cap. They will be physically delivered, whereby contracts held to expiry will result in the delivery of natural gas at the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) Virtual Trading Point.

ICE Futures Europe is already home to many of ICE’s natural gas markets. This includes the successful TTF 1st line contract which plays an integral role in pricing and risk management of global natural gas portfolios; ICE’s UK gas benchmark NBP; ICE JKM LNG (Platts), the benchmark price for natural gas for North-East Asia; the newly listed LNG futures for North-West Europe and South-West Europe, and the German THE, French PEG, and Italian PSV Natural Gas 1st line contracts.
